Btw while i was reading my stats, i noticed water consumed said 0, Is this bugged?
Considering im playing on hardcore and drink purified water quite often.

I think it means how much water you have drank from lakes, ponds, puddles, toilets, sinks and other places from the world, not from your inventory.

So I'm on my second playthrough, playing with the 2nd patch this times, first time I played I did the "indie" ending, so I figured this time I'll do the NCR ending. Been suckin their asses since the begining only to travel to the mojave outpost a few moments ago and get my ass shot by any NCR I meet! WTF?!!
I did nothing wrong and ain't wearing any gay faction armor! I rage-deleted my save and the game! I'm done until the GOTY comes out.

When you are near pulling the trigger to launch the ghouls at repconn in space, on the right hand side there is a console, but you need a high skill level, anyone managed to play with that console BEFORE launching the ghouls ?

 Spoiler: | It allows to re-program a new course for the rockets: either a more optimized one, or to let the rockets collide into each other. I've read that it gives some karma (good or bad, depending on choice, I suppose), and I guess some XP as well. Couldn't do either, because I didn't have enough in science either: I just lacked 2 points after reading the proper magazine... |

Is wearing anything other than a light armor gives a stealth penalty ?
I have been wearing a reinforced Leather armor since the beginning of the game and i'm thinking of upgrading to a combat armor but won't if it gives a stealth penalty since my character is pretty mucg based on stealth and critical hits.

Unsure if it gives a direct stealth penalty but as you said armor is categorized as light, medium and heavy with light being mostly clothing and the leather based armors and medium being metal and the combat armors, heavy is normally just the power armor variety.
But I'm unsure if it affects more than move speed and the stat bonus specific things on the actual garments.
(Similar to how a small gun doesn't slow you down that much compared to a rifle and compared to a heavy gun though it's still slower than holstering the weapon.)
Could be that the footstep type does allow NPC's to detect you earlier as well but I'm uncertain about the mechanics and how it works.
(Stealth boy and just clearing the place out works great for locales like the "Silver Rush" where many high-level and powerful items are just displayed openly though under guard.)

I thought it was explained in the game that small guns don't affect speed at all? Maybe it was just a poorly worded reference to the fact that a larger gun will be much more noticeable, but I haven't been holstering because I assumed it was just my mind fucking with me.
p.s. I hate the way the .357 looks. Don't know why, it just doesn't seem properly proportioned.

Any weapon will slow you down when drawn, I kinda See holstering as sprinting.
@ HunterHare, I haven't only drank water from my inventory, i also used fresh lakes.
I do rarely drink anything that contains rads.

Finally done, 52 hours in. I believe I visited 95-97% of all possible locations (thanks to explorer perk) and did almost all the quests possible under the main quest constraints (you have to fail some quests no matter what). All in all I didn't get the ending I wanted, but I don't feel like replaying the game again right now. Kudos to Obsidian, I think they recaptured much of the charm of the original fallout games, considering the limitations of the crappy engine. 
Damn, I can't remember last time I invested more than 50 hours in a game

Yes, im already playing for about 55h and i still have many quests open and locations to discover. Great game! And with some nice mods even greater!
For me that's the advantage of buying games. Most of the time i will enjoy playing them and not just rushing to the end.

havent started this yet (finishing nehrim), but the below seems very nice indeed! Any who are playing hardcore care to comment? im considering starting hardcore too, just wondering if its worth it or becomes too much of a drag..
"Playing Fallout: New Vegas in hardcore mode is a revolution. You become a true wastelander, collapsing onto whatever roadside mattress you can find to stave off sleep deprivation, lapping dirty water from toilet bowls to hydrate yourself, going through every bin and abandoned building you can find for morsels of irradiated food and dying almost every time you venture off the beaten path. Skills that otherwise lurk at the bottom of your priorities, like Unarmed and Survival, become absolutely essential. Perks that you'd otherwise skip over become lifesavers.
It doesn't just make things harder – it's not a wasteland Hard mode that artificially gives mangy raiders thousands of hit points. It changes the whole way you play the game, completely altering your worldview. Ammunition has weight, so there's more of a reason to explore Fallout: New Vegas' vastly improved melee weapons. Instead of obsessing over your next quest goal, you're scouring the horizon for buildings that might have water, or a settlement that might have a doctor to heal your crippled limbs. "
Like i said seems good

What a crock of shit, especially the bold part. 
If you're a console derp then yes, it might seem like a revolution.
Ammo has weight but you can get around that by breaking it down, since the components are weightless.
Purified water bottles are relatively common, dirty water bottles even more so and you can heal your limbs with a Doctor's Bag (although one at a time and it only heals half).
What you can't do is rush into every enemy a la Fallout 3 with a 10mm pistol and hope to win the fight.
Proper tactics are much more vital now, at least in the lower levels, and the game is quite challenging early on.

There is nice Hardcore enhancing mode on NVNexus. It actually lives up to the name. The default Hardcore mode is more of annoyance than game changer and the only good and game affecting feature is Stimpacks healing over time instead of immediately, the rest, water/food/limbs healing have zero effect on your actions in the game.

Are you sure about this?
If so I didn't noticed it. 
Still, just like locke89 said, vanilla hardcore mode is more an annoyance than a challenge.

^ That could work, if you use only one type of food water, instead scavenging everything you find.

That way you can just hit them instead of going through inventory trying to find what ever suites your taste. I always make sure to have at least 10 pure water, and 10 bighorn steaks
